About the Winery

Anthill Farms Winery was established in 2004 in California. A group of friends, working at Williams-Selyem, got together to form the Anthill Farms Winery in this region. They had enough winemaking experience and they had visited many wine-rich terroirs in California, Oregon and Virginia before zeroing on this particular location for their label.
